Do You Believe In The Law of Attraction? Is it Bogus?

The law of attraction is the name given to the belief that “like attracts like” and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results.[1][2][3][4] For example, if a person opened an envelope expecting to see a bill, then according to the law of attraction, the envelope would “confirm” those thoughts and contain a bill when opened. A person who decided to instead expect a cheque might, under the same law, find a cheque instead of a bill.[5]

Mindset * is * critical to any kind of succesd, no question, but I don’t think it’s some kind of universal karma magnet bullshit. Someone with a positive mindset about things will be more motivated to do the work they need to do. People with a positive mindset will attract other positive people into their lives who will provide them support and opportunities. People with a positive mindset will have the self-confidence to attempt difficult tasks other’s may not, and will not be as discouraged by minor setbacks. But it’s not as simple as “think positively of what you want and it will come to you” more like “think positively about what you want and you’ll remember to continuously work towards it”

Not really true at all..Your thoughts are what shape 95% of your interaction with your external environment.

Many people can tell what we are thinking or how we are feeling just by looking at us. Yes, a lot of this ability depends on subconscious body language..but that is our thoughts actually manifesting in the physical realm through subconscious movements.

Studies on some of the most successful people in the world from all different professions and hobbies have pointed to the routine use of visualization and positive thought as their keys to success..so it has no effect?

Obviously if you ain’t taking action, your thoughts won’t do shit for the most part. This passage is being taken out of context and I don’t believe it intended to say that you can literally think concrete things into existence. But there is a whole premise surrounding this that makes a lot of sense intuitively.

Check this out. I think he calls the law, Entrainment rather than attraction. I have no idea who wrote this, nor do I think they are some sort of Swami..but it will shed a bit of light. And I don’t have any better resources to give you at the moment lol
